You can claim all you want, but Jerry flat out denied all of this when he gave the contract to Romo and when he hired Linehan. The quotes are in the links I provided among many.
Wade constantly complained about Garrett not running the ball, which was his whole reason to bring in Dan Reeves. That is another fact that cannot be denied. Wade had problems with Garrett, which time eventually proved right.
Reeves was supposed to be brought in as a consultant for player personnel, not as an O-Coordinator.
Wade also publicly said that Romo was audlbing out of too many run plays on 2 different occasions.
There was some talk about Norv coming in to 'help Garrett' along with Wade wanting Mike Solari to coach the O-Line instead of Garrett's preference of Hudson Houck. So I do think Wade had problems with Garrett, but he did call out Romo on 2 different occasions for not running the ball. I do think at that time Garrett enabled Romo.
The TOs and pressure those put on the defense, Wade put on the lack of running the ball because of Garrett, not Romo.
Not completely true. He publicly said that Romo checks out of too many run plays on 2 different occasions.
Romo had no problems running the ball the very year Linehan came and he didn't turn the Ball over.
Romo had a ton of autonomy over the offense. He CLEARLY audibled throughout his career.
If he audibled so much, he could have JUST AS EASILY audibled a pass play into a run play.
He didn't for almost his entire career.
The facts are that Wade called out Romo for checking out of run plays, then Garrett did when he was coach and then Jason Hatcher did in a practice after Romo became so pass happy.
When Callahan became the O-Coordinator and he was clearly calling the plays...we had games like the KC game where were were never behind by more than 7 points and we threw the ball 51 times and ran it 9 times.
